Impact of wildfire and forest management on permafrost and post-fire regeneration
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5902. This project has two main objectives: 1) To monitor the recovery of NWT forests following wildfire to better understand post-fire changes on forest composition and ground vegetation 2) To develop baseline information about proposed forest management areas to support assessment of harvesting impacts on these areas...


Impacts of climate change on fire fuels in wetlands and forested areas
Principal Investigator: Chasmer, Laura E
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5614. The objectives for this research licence are to compare the fuel characteristics within accessible areas in the Fort Simpson area to collected lidar remote sensing, to develop an ecozone specific fire fuel model; to determine how fire fuels have changed within northern latitudes over time and compare them to the chan...


Fire, carbon budget and climate change
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The research team will be examining areas of permafrost south of Inuvik and near Hay River in order to assess the rate of loss of permafrost as a result of the warming in climate over the past twenty years. The loss in permafrost may be speeded up following a local fire. The wetlands that replace these areas of permafrost could lead to a greater production of methane (one of the gases that contr...


A Northern Forest Ecosystem Simulation Model of Early Post-Fire Tree Seedling Establishment, Growth and Competition
Principal Investigator: Gal, Ruth Ann
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researcher and her team will glean physiological rates and relationships for tree growth from the literature and substitute the data into a functional model, which will be calibrated against intensive sampling within WBNP over dry, mesic and wet landscapes....


Management Implications of Integrating Public Consultation and Prioritized Values-at-Risk in NWT Forest Fire Management Policy
Principal Investigator: Clark, Kim
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher will conduct interviews with individuals and agencies. Questions will be designed to solicit individual and community definition and prioritization of resources (values-at-risk) endangered by forest fire....
